Ultralow-power in-memory computing based on ferroelectric memcapacitor network

We demonstrate a robust memcapacitor by stacking ferroelectric capacitor on the metal-insulator-semiconductor structure. It possesses a long retention time of more than 104 s and well endurance of 109 cycles. Ultralow-power in-memory computing based on ferroelectric memcapacitor array intrinsically consumes zero energy in memcapacitors themselves. It sheds light on an ultralow-power neural hardware based on ferroelectric memcapacitors. …

Microglial targeted therapy relieves cognitive impairment caused by Cntnap4 deficiency

Hippocampal Cntnap4 deficiency was associated with cognitive impairment via inducing pro-inflammatory response in females. A biomimetic microglial nanoparticle system (MNPs@PLX) was established for precise microglial delivery of FDA-approved PLX3397 to attenuate cognitive decline, dysfunctional synaptic plasticity, and pro-inflammatory response in female heterozygous Cntnap4 knockout mice. This study indicates that microglial supplementation of PLX3397 may serve as an intervention for …
